Description

Two Pieces of Concept Artwork from "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Universal International, 1962. Both rendered on onionskin in pencil
and charcoal and glued to mat boards; the first depicts three
separate shots of the children ["Scout," "Jem," and "Dill" who was
based on the actual, real-life Truman Capote] sneaking into the
court room, typed text glued to the lower margins read "To Kill
a Mockingbird / A Universal Picture / Interior Court House Lower
Floor," verso displays some blue ballpoint ink quick
renderings/scribblings of another interior space; the second
depicts "Atticus Finch" in the court room looking towards the jury,
also with typed text glued to the lower margins reading in part
"Interior Court Room;" from the beloved classic that
teachers still show their students 50+ years later -- a
moving film that won three Academy Awards including 'Best Actor in
a Leading Role' for Gregory Peck, 'Best Art Direction-Set
Decoration, Black-and-White' and 'Best Writing, Screenplay Based on
Material from Another Medium.' (Please note the corners of both are
somewhat dog-eared due to age.)20" x 24" and 16" x 25"
